FLASH ME.....your honeymooon :)

We're having a week at the Restia Suites in Corfu- VIP villa with private pool, adults only- I'm more excited for this than the wedding!

Fabulous honeymoons ladies! We are hoping to go on honeymoon next Summer once we have saved up a bit after the wedding, not sure where yet though.

Straight after the wedding we are having our minimoon in H2B's Aunty's lodge in Mid-Wales:

?

This looks just like what we've been talking about - only we're only planning New York and Las Vegas... we dont have long (leaving the kids behind for this bit!) so need to pack loads in... who did you book yours through and where are you planning to stay!?

We can't decide, wanted to go back to the Maldives but it's gone up so much since we last went don't think we can justify it, might go for something dog friendly in the UK instead...after all would be our first trip away with us all having the same surname ?

This is depressing but I don't think we will be going on honeymoon as we don't really have enough money, especially after we have finished paying for the wedding. Plus we have two children which I wouldn't want to part with. We may go away for a family holiday for a few days if we get any money from guests (we requested money to put towards a honeymoon) or a posh night away while my inlaws are down and can babysit.

Oooh I'm getting serious honeymoon envy now! We had £1k budget for both of us, in July, middle of Summer holidays so no way were we going to get a bargain sadly!

We decided to blow a large part of that on 2 nights in a glorious local-ish spa-hotel the night of our wedding and the following night, including dinner on the second night and almost an entire day of spa treatments on the Sunday. We thought this would be the least stressful, nicest way to start married life together! We're off work for a fortnight but are not expecting to honeymoon for a fortnight - instead, we're intending on having a UK-based 'mini-moon' for up to 1 week, and then spend the second week at home together, and maybe doing excursions to local places we never get to visit, eat at some of our favourite places and so on.

Our dream honeymoon is to go and see the Northern Lights, do some winter sports, spend a night in the ice hotel etc in Finland, so if we can afford it in time, we'll go in February half term (I'm a teacher so ruled by school holidays!)

Greenbean - LOVE the yorkshire place, could you possibly send me a link?

Anna - I went to Thailand a few years ago was travelling - it's absolutely beautiful and I think if you stay in some of the more luxurious hotels it would definitely be honeymooney with the added bonus of being able to explore the local areas as well if you wanted to.

We're looking at going to Kenya and Zanzibar for honeymoon but just trying to see if the budget will stretch!

Glad to see I'm not the only one having a uk honeymoon! We're off to Newquay for a week day after the wedding. Renting a sea front appartment. We were Origionally going to go to America but we just couldn't justify the cost and decided saving for our house was more important to us at the mo. can't wait now, need a holiday!

My friend's husband is a manger at a local independent travel agent and he managed to get us the best price than any of the big name tour operators and travel agencies. We're not really travelling through a tour operator as such, the flights were booked direct with continental airlines and the hotels through a supplier. We're staying at the Mirage in Las Vegas, were originally going to be staying at the Bellagio but as the New York part of it ending up been so expensive (because of the time of year were going) we decided to bring the costs down. In New York we're staying at the St Giles Court, if you're not planning on going in December you can get some really good deals on hotels there ?

oh if I must.... Four seasons Anahita on Mauritius. We have a garden villa with private plunge pool.

We went to Meeru Island in the Maldives. It was amazing!!!

Oooh Emsypooh we are going to the Maldives too, but Kuramathi!!

Can't friggin wait!! This time in 2 months we will be there.

We are still undecided on where we are going to go.

I would love to go to the middle east as I used to get to work out there with my old job but as we are getting married in June it would be way too hot for my OH.

We are not really 'beach' people although we did consider a cruise around the carribean.

However we do love America (got engaged in DisneyWorld Florida) so we are thinking of starting in Las Vegas for a couple of nights and then doing a road trip across US and then finishing in New York which is my favourite place in the world. We haven't got any children and as we want to start a family fairly soon after we get married it may be our only chance to do something like this before the pitter patter of tiny feet come along!

Pinky!! We are honeymoon twins & you get married the day before me so we'll probably be there at the same time!

When are you going?

This has been a really interesting thread!

We are looking into going to Las Vegas for a few days...

Then LA for a few days...

and then a beachy type break for a week or so. At the mo we are thinking Antigua...
